How to contribute

You can contribute to XojoUnit in two ways:

• submit changes from your Fork of XojoUnit
• request to become a Contributor

Don't send me emails with your updated project.

Forking XojoUnit

1. Click the Fork button at the top.
2. Make your changes.
3. Push your changes back to GitHub.
4. Create a "Pull Request" for your changes.

These steps notify the XojoUnit maintainers so that the change can be reviewed for inclusion in XojoUnit.

Here is a helpflow Github workflow document I found: http://www.eqqon.com/index.php/Collaborative_Github_Workflow

Frankly, this is all still new to me so we'll see how it goes!

Becoming a Contributor

If you actively submit good changes, I'll probably make you a Contributor so that I don't have to process all your pull requests.

Requirements

Xojo 2020 Release 2 or later is required to use XojoUnit with iOS and Web.

Xojo 2019 Release 2 or later is required for XojoUnit with Desktop and Console.

Release Notes

6.9.1 (June 5, 2024)

• Removed MenuItem with DesktopMenuItem in API2 project.
• Fixed previous release notes.

6.9 (June 4, 2024)

• Support Dark Mode.
• Split Desktop project into API1 and API2 versions.
• Converted some function calls to replacements, e.g., Format -> .ToString.

6.8 (Feb. 23, 2023)

• Introduced ObjectSpy class.

6.7.1 (Sept. 24, 2021)

• Added checks for Nil objects to prevent unhandled exceptions.

6.7 (Sept. 23, 2021)

• API 2.0.
• Web 2.0.
• Added Assert.FailCount, incremented within a test on every failure.

6.6 (Apr. 13, 2020)

• In Desktop, "N/A" tests will show as grey and any test with a message will be bolded.
• Desktop will allow you to filter tests through the command line with either --includeunittests or --excludeunittests as the last item. Use patterns where "*" is a wildcard and a dot separates group and test name. Multiple patterns can be separated by commas. Example, --includeunittests 'MyGroup.A\*' will only include tests in group MyGroup that start with "A". --excludeunittests '*.*Broker*' will exclude any tests in any groups that contain the word "Broker". --includeunittests 'MyGroup.MyTest' and --includeunittests 'MyGroup.My' will both include only the test named "MyTest" (the "Test" suffix is optional).
• A method that uses DoEvents (used behind the scenes by some Xojo functions) will no longer cause crashes.

6.5 (Jan. 16, 2018)

• Added "Run Until Fail"" button to Desktop. Tests will continue to run in a loop until one fails. "Stop Tests" will stop after the last test if running in a loop, or immediately if not. If you want to stop looping tests right away, press "Stop Tests" twice.
• Added more contextual menus to Desktop (Selected Failed Tests, Select One Test).
• Better updating of results and summary on Desktop. Also means less flicker on Windows.
• Better handling of Controller.Duration.
• Added more Currency tests.
• Disabled Run button and added progress wheel to iOS.
• Added Test Timers.

6.4 (Jan. 12, 2018)

• Fixed bug where asynchronous tests will yield time to other TestGroups.
• Desktop will update UI as tests run and allow Stop.
• More Desktop contextual menus.
• Running tests in Desktop with no groups selected will no longer show the useless wheel.
• If the TestGroup.Setup event raised an Exception, the Duration would be wrong. No longer.
• Test message in Desktop is now read-only.

6.3 (Dec. 16, 2016)

• Added TestGroup.StopTestOnFail property. If True, the first Fail will stop a test. A TestGroup can be set to stop when it is first added, it can be set in the Setup event, or an individual test can set it for that lone test.
• Modified projects to properly report tests that did not return a result.
• Modified ExportTestResults to be more compatible with JUnit.

6.2 (October 21, 2016)

• Added Assert.Matches and Assert.DoesNotMatch to test strings against regular expressions.
• iOS project will show failed method names in red.

6.0.2 (October 6, 2016)
